I know, it's been over a month since my last post. I am back on mainland, and I've written so much in the past few weeks, but need some time to edit it all. Pictures will have to suffice for now!

Just an update: I'm back in NJ and was hired almost immediately as low-man-on-the-totem-pole for a company that works with the military and their stores. It's cold as &*#% here, and the snow is off and on and off and on again. My tan has faded a bit, but my yearning for the sun and the sand has not.
Never fails... I'm always going to dream about being on an island if I'm not on one. :)
Until all the editing actually occurs...
You know you love me,
XOXO

Domestic, Light and It's Really Freakin' Cold
I've got plenty of fun and ridiculousness to blog about in the coming days, but for now, I felt this reflection from Kenny was extremely a propos:
Boats… and oceans… and islands… and the sun moving across the sky. It is a whole other way of life, and a whole other way to live. You can’t know – as I didn’t until I started spending time in the islands – how peaceful sitting on the front of a boat, feeling the waves hitting the bow and watching the clouds do much of nothing is until you’ve been there, yet somehow I think we all sense it.
This was a map to the life I found in the Caribbean; this is a map of the soul that emerges once you experience how still you can be.
We all need songs to sing. Some of us need to write down our truth, and I am one of those people. These are about where I’ve been, what I’ve seen and especially who I find myself becoming.
Life is a journey, as much as it is earning a living, and finding your place in the world. Along the way, if you are paying attention, it’s the people you meet, the stories you hear, the lessons you learn and the way it all makes you feel. These are some of my stories, my travels, and the people who’ve crossed my path.

It's currently frigid in New Jersey, where I currently am for about 12 days. My one hundred pounds of luggage is apparently on island time, and wanted to stay in Ft. Lauderdale. I am hoping it will catch up, since it holds every Christmas present I had purchased. Eeek!
Until next time...
You know you love me.

"I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by."
Here are a few pictures from the past week or so - Doug Holst's goodbye (or rather, see you soon), happy hour in St. John, the regatta, and Meghan's frat-themed birthday party are all included!

Time for work... and then I will be picking up my little brother at the airport! I am sure there will be loads of fun pictures and stories to upload over the next week.
Until next time...
